Syrians Live Tweet As U.S. Airstrikes Against ISIS Bombard Cities

Tweets from the ground show that ISIS may be the target of the U.S. airstrikes in Syria, but people invariably are the sufferers.

The United States, along with several Arab nations including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Bahrain and Qatar, started airstrikes against Islamic State in Syria early Tuesday.

The strikes are focused on the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa, a city in northern Syria, but other cities with the terrorist organization’s presence, including DeirEzzor, Al Hasakah and Abu Kamal, were also targeted.

The airstrikes against the ISIS targets may be killing terrorists but innocent people are also paying the price.

Abu Maya Al-Raqawi, 40, a media worker from Raqqa, told a newspaper, "Some people are already fleeing the city as they know that civilians are going to be the real victims for these air strikes. Raqqa will be completely destroyed. We all know that ISIS are spreading themselves among civilians and they occupy the FSA and old regime headquarters, which are in civilian areas. People in Raqqa have to deal with two evils, Isis or Assad. Which one is better? I don't know the answer."
